Frequently Asked Questions
My Citrus Heights home was built in the 1970s — what should I expect?
Older homes often need more than just equipment. We'll evaluate ductwork condition, return air sizing, electrical, and refrigerant lines during your free estimate. Some of these items may need to be addressed for a complete, code-compliant installation.
How long does replacement take in an older Citrus Heights home?
Most straightforward replacements take 1–2 days. If ductwork replacement or electrical upgrades are needed, the job may take 2–3 days. We'll give you a clear timeline upfront.
Do you handle SMUD rebate paperwork for Citrus Heights?
Yes. Citrus Heights is served by SMUD, and we help homeowners identify and apply for available efficiency rebates on qualifying equipment.
